SELECTIVE FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT (SFMA) is a movement based diagnostic system.  Both our doctors  utilize this diagnostic tool on most, if not all, patients to guide the treatment plan.  Some patients present with pain inhibited movement patterns, while others have dysfunction in their movement due to a stability and motor control problem.  Pain limited movement can be treated with Active Release Technique and chiropractic manipulation. Analysis of altered movement patterns directs treatment of the specific muscle and joint problems causing pain.

Specific exercises and stretching are prescribed to address these specific muscle/joint as well as stability and motor control issues. Most patients are then able to self-manage their pain with home exercise versus ongoing treatment.

EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION is utilized at our clinic so you can help yourself. At our clinic we don’t believe in “maintenance care” or that you need to see us on a regular basis to stay functional.

We work to get you as mobile and pain free as we can and teach you exercises and stretches to help you manage on your own.
